My AXE Angels Are Feminists, Not the Root of All American Evils

Oscar Goes to AXE Knocking Off Victoria’s Secret Angels Brilliantly AOC News Musings

We are busy bringing together my personal column — renamed Sensual Rebel — with our former feminist writing channel Sexual Politics.

Coming to grips with the reality that AOC friends who have hopefully read essays like Controlling Women’s Bodies Is A Fight to the Finish and The Republican War on Women Gives Me Nightmares, think I am not a feminist, it’s time to take action. 

For the record, I do not endorse America’s tendency to blame feminists for every social ill in the world from the global economic meltdown to female sexual dysfunction. Being the only woman I know gutsy enough to write that she connects the dots between fashion and flogging, I thought my philosophical stance on women’s rights was pretty clear. Obviously not.

Let there be no misunderstanding about Anne’s pedigree. I’m an ardent feminist who has enjoyed superb relations with men and women over the decades. I will post this declaration of my feminism on our submissions page — with fair warning — as my head clears from the recent confusion. Honestly, I’m sort of in a WTF zone on how I got in this recent digital jam.

When you mess with the sisterhood, you are messing with me. Do not come into my digital house, with a message that condemns feminism as emasculating men and communicate to my readers your improved vision of gender relations, especially one involving the innate submission of women — thinking that I won’t be flabberghasted and confused about what you might mean.

Do not take the growing transgender and gender fluidity movements, and the gay rights movement, and summarize feminism as solely responsible for blurring the lines between men and women, a trend you believe is wrong.

True, gender fluidity is complex on multiple fronts. But feminism is not the ‘culprit’ and I honestly believe the trend is real and natural, and we should all hunker down and deal with it.

So take all the anti-natural roles stuff to some fundamentalist, Rick Perry church, where it belongs — not AOC.
